For the 13th consecutive year,Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has been named the world’s leading airport for air cargo, handling an impressive 4.33 million tonnes.
Jack So, Chairman of the Hong Kong Airport Authority, credits this to the airport’s "resilience, unmatched efficiency, and world-class cargo services." HKIA is also the first to earn all IATA CEIV certifications for handling sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals and perishables.
What Fuels Hong Kong's Air Cargo's Growth?
Hong Kong's air cargo sector is booming, largely due to the rapid growth of e-commerce. Products such as electronics, fashion items, and luxury goods are flowing through Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) at an unprecedented rate.
Hong Kong serves as a major logistics and transportation hub, facilitating the movement of goods between manufacturers in Asia and consumers in other parts of the world.
This is because HKIA is renowned for its efficient operations and reliable services. Its advanced cargo terminals and streamlined customs procedures ensure that these high-demand items are handled swiftly and securely, meeting the demands of online shoppers.
Furthermore, HKIA's connectivity to the Greater Bay Area allows for seamless transfer of goods to and from mainland China and other key markets. This makes HKIA the preferred choice for businesses looking for efficient air cargo solutions in the e-commerce era.
Expanding Capacity
HKIA’s ambitious "Three-runway System (3RS)" project, reconfiguring the central runway and expanding Terminal 2, aims to handle over 10 million tonnes of cargo and 120 million passengers annually by 2035. This significant expansion has one clear objective: maintaining its status as a global air cargo leader.
